The fans were warned in advance that the players would do a lap of honour with the trophy if and only if the playing surface remained clear.
Needless to say, those who could not restrain themselves from the consumption of alcohol invaded the pitch in their thousands, forcing the official celebrations to be cancelled.
If the Club announce that the proposed lap of honour on Saturday is contingent upon no trespassing on the field, it may have the desired effect.
I would hate to think that the younger, well behaved supporters were denied the spectacle on account of the misbehaviour of their supposed elders and betters.
Speaking of good behaviour, I have to acknowledge those Notts fans opposite us who remained behind to applaud us, a good example of sportsmanship.
